It marked the first time No. 24 Nevada swept No. 18 Hawai'i, which dropped from first place to third in the WAC following its loss on Saturday.

Robinson's two-run home run, the 39th of her career and 16th this season, pulled Hawai'i to 12-10 in the sixth.
UH's Richie-Anne Titcomb hit a two-run home run in the second inning.
